Cycling enthusiasts are invited to join us on Sunday June 15, 2025 from 8am to 12pm for another edition of Col'Attitude, with two possible departures this year: Orbey or Plainfaing!
Col'Attitude, késako? Inspired by the "Cols Réservés" operations in the Alps, this event enables cyclists to climb the Vosges' legendary passes in complete safety, for the duration of a car-free morning. Launched in 2022 on the initiative of Massif des Vosges and Alsace Destination Tourisme, the event is back in full force with several editions planned between June and September 2025.
On June 15, the ascent to the Lac Blanc resort will take center stage. Two traffic-free routes will be offered:
From Orbey: a 10 km ascent to the Col du Calvaire, with 580 m of ascent, on a magnificent route between pastures and panoramas over the Pays Welche. The ascent will take you to Lac Blanc, nestled in a sumptuous glacial cirque, at 1144 m altitude.
From Plainfaing: a 12 km climb via the Col du Louschbach, with 436 m ascent, in a more forested and wild atmosphere. This slope offers you a peaceful, natural alternative to also reach the Lac Blanc.
To note: to reach Plainfaing by bike, the Route des Crêtes to the Col de la Schlucht will also be reserved for cyclists. On the other hand, the section between Col de la Schlucht and Plainfaing via Le Valtin will remain a road open to traffic: vigilance recommended.
The event is free, with no registration required, and open to all types of bikes: road, mountain bike, gravel, muscle or electric. Let yourself be carried away by the magic of the Vosges summits... at your own pace!
Event organized bythe Office de Tourisme de la Vallée de Kaysersberg, the Syndicat Mixte du Lac Blanc, the Communauté de Communes de la Vallée de Kaysersberg, and the Communauté d'Agglomération de Saint-Dié-des-Vosges.
